The Detection of HO Maser Emission from mid-IR Red Galaxies
C. Y. Kuo, C. Y. Tai, A. Constantin +7
We report the detection of HO maser emission in 4 out of 77 (5.2%) mid-IR red galaxies that meet the color criteria of and and are classified as Type-…
What Determines the Boundaries of H2O Maser Emission in an X-ray Illuminated Gas Disk ?
C. Y. Kuo, F. Gao, J. A. Braatz +7
High precision mapping of H2O megamaser emission from active galaxies has revealed more than a dozen Keplerian H2O maser disks, which enable a ~4% uncertainty estimate of the Hubbl…
The Megamaser Cosmology Project. X. High Resolution Maps and Mass Constraint for SMBHs
W. Zhao, J. A. Braatz, J. J. Condon +8
We present high resolution (sub-mas) VLBI maps of nuclear H2O megamasers for seven galaxies. In UGC6093, the well-aligned systemic masers and high-velocity masers originate in an e…
Enhancing the H2O Megamaser Detection Rate Using Optical and Mid-infrared Photometry
C. Y. Kuo, A. Constantin, J. A. Braatz +8
Water megamasers from circumnuclear disks in galaxy centers provide the most accurate measurements of supermassive black hole masses and uniquely probe the sub-parsec accretion pro…
The Megamaser Cosmology Project.IX. Black hole masses for three maser galaxies
F. Gao, J. A. Braatz, M. J. Reid +9
As part of the Megamaser Cosmology Project (MCP), we present VLBI maps of nuclear water masers toward five galaxies. The masers originate in sub-parsec circumnuclear disks. For thr…
The Megamaser Cosmology Project VIII. A Geometric Distance to NGC 5765b
F. Gao, J. A. Braatz, M. J. Reid +7
As part of the Megamaser Cosmology Project (MCP), here we present a new geometric distance measurement to the megamaser galaxy NGC 5765b. Through a series of VLBI observations, we…
